News, Gossip & Scandal from the world of CTP Teams!

The True Spirit Of CTP Teams

If I have learned one thing in life, whether it be socially or in a work environment, then it is this; you can never hope to please everybody.

And so it is the same in CTP Teams – most people really love it but there is are some every now and again who only see the negatives in anything which transpires.

In these cases I always try to suggest that people see the bigger picture…CTP Teams is about far more than sufing for credits and gaining XP…it really is.

So in the last 24 hours there are three things which happened which really showed me that so many of you do see the bigger picture.

Here are the three:

reading the overwhelmingly positive comments on this blog day after day where people take time to encourage others and celebrate their achievements on a public platform.

attending Tom Wacker’s spreecast yesterday where there was a great discussion about CTP Teams and the potential it brings to the industry…if you have not been to one of Tom’s shows then you really must do so.

Forgot to say… as it says in CTP teams we are players and it has nothing to do with top surfers, …the key here is the XP’s and there are plenty of ways to get that, timtech.me rewards is one and purchasing sometimes is one and ofcourse collecting while surfing….so as long as all is legal…every way to get XP’s is a “tactic” like it or not 🙂

Good stuff Matt. And back also to the subject of the post…being part of a team is far far more than the surfing and the competition, but also the learning and the growing we experience by learning to shape ourselves…into a team, with goals, passion, and our own sense of team personality.

The team I am on (WUN CTP Team), the members of our team seem to all agree (at least the ones in our skype room), that our bigger picture is social interaction with each other. And of course, most of us chat while we surf. 🙂

Great posts indeed Patrick and Matt!
Like in the football a single player can decide a goal but can’t win the game all by himself.The team makes you stronger,wiser ,more confident in yourself.There are big chances that your team mates will be your future business partners.Like John C. Maxwell says:A lot of people interract,few people connect.So think of the ways you can connectSkype is the first step.NUGGET:)

Thank you Patrick for staying on the positive side in your posts each day. Knowingly or unknowingly you inspire all of us to do better as teams and with our communications. It is great fun to compete each day and see who the new movers are. Again, Thank you Patrick

I have run into a couple of haters, but overall I enjoy the mutual support and encouragement found on the CTP Teams. I find myself being constantly pleasantly surprised by at least one of you each day.

Great posts, Patrick and Matt. And I love the comment by Evelyn to love the haters into submission–they’ll soooooo hate that!

Congratulations to all of the teams who make the CTP teams a great experience. I have met some great new people, and this experience is what makes it worthwhile to me. Just thought I would “point” that out.

Well written piece. Just remember, with out the negatives, sometimes it is harder to appreciate the positives. Matt is a great leader and does a fine job calling the shots of the Surfaholics(get it, shots!).

Teams are definitely bigger than the credits. Matt good post. The CTP team is family & that makes the difference to me. team respecting that we all have a business to run that is outside of the teams, and we all pitch in & work together. YAY for Team WakeUpNow.
